Technical note on inventory model with defective items.
This paper proposes a specialized LP-algorithm for a sub problem arising in simple Profit maximising Lot-sizing. The setting involves a single (and multi) item production system with negligible set-up costs/times and limited production capacity. The producer faces a monopolistic market with given time-varying linear demand curves.
This paper deals with an unreliable manufacturing system in which limited backlog is allowed. An admissible production policy is described by two decision parameters: upper and lower hedging points. The objective is to find the optimum hedging points so as to minimize the long run average expected cost under an additional condition. The condition expresses a constraint for the limiting probability of the event that the system stays at the lower hedging point, which corresponds to a limit of backlog....
